18. God Likes the Packers More Than the Bears

Wed, Jan 26, 2011

So, apparently there is a God after all.  And apparently, he’s a Green Bay Packer fan.

17. Bears Blow SEA’s Doors, Set Up GB Mega Bowl

Tue, Jan 18, 2011

It’s the best weekend in football, the conference semi-finals.  Four teams coming off playoff wins at four teams coming off bye weeks.  And this season, all four games were rematches in the same stadiums as their regular season match-ups.  The two AFC games were division rivalries with 49 wins between them.  And the two NFC games bring us another division rivalry in the conference championship, what will be the most anticipated non-Super Bowl game in the history of the NFL – Chicago and Green Bay for the NFC crown.  I think it moved.

16. Bears Loss Lets Pack Into Playoffs

Tue, Jan 4, 2011

It was a matchup of the oldest rivalry in the NFL in a city where there’s nothing to do but drink beer, eat cheese and watch football.  This rivalry has brought us 181 regular season games (which the Bears lead 92-83-6) but only one playoff game (which the Bears won 33-14 in 1941).  It involves 21 championships (Green Bay 12, Chicago 9) and 50 playoff appearances (25 each).  It has always been played in GB or Chicago (except for one game in Milwaukee in ’74 and one in Champaign in ‘02).  It brought us a 61-7 Bear victory (‘80), a GB 10-game winning streak (’94-’98), and the Charles Martin incident (’86).  And it has given us the two greatest players in history in Bret Fahrvergnügen and Walter Payton, and the two most important NFL men in Vince Lombardi and George Halas.
